OK-apparently this is something that they send out to EVERYONE who applied before a certain date.

When I called, the person who answered said that the email meant that my file had been held over to the RD pool. I told them that I was RD to begin with and he said that, since I had applied so early, I got the same email that went out to the ED people who are in the same boat.

Dear Monkeygirl,Thank you for your e-mail. Once we receive updates, including your fall grades, I will notify the Admissions Committee and Dean Cornblatt.You were placed on hold. The Admissions Committee will finalize their decision by February 26, 2010 for you. The hold is different from being on a wait list; wait list is a final decision and the applicants on the wait list generally hear back from the Admissions Committee towards the end of the summer.

i guess i should just withdraw since there's no way i'll be going there anyhow.....

Remember just one short month ago when you were in utter despair thinking you're cycle would go horrendously. And now, after taking a quick peek at your LSN, you're undoubtedly go to a T14 with $ or a T30 with a $$$. Congrats!
